1000 Broadway is a 24-story office building in Portland, Oregon. The distinguishing feature of the building is a series of rings that form a dome over the center portion of its roof. Because of this, the building is nicknamed "The Ban Roll-on Building".[1]

The half-block lot formerly hosted the Broadway Theater, an art deco movie house. Plans to restore and include the old marquee never came to fruition. However, a 4-screen multi-plex movie theater was built inside the new tower. Originally the new theater was operated by Act III Theaters, which had been formed from the chain started by Moyer. The 1000 Broadway theater, along with all Act III theaters, was later acquired by Regal Cinemas in 1998, which in turn closed the 1000 Broadway four-plex in September 2011.[3]

Mount Hood
–
Mount Hood, called Wyeast by the Multnomah tribe, is a potentially active stratovolcano in the Cascade Volcanic Arc of northern Oregon. It was formed by a zone on the Pacific coast. It is located about 50 miles east-southeast of Portland, on the border between Clackamas and Hood River counties, in addition to being Oregons highest mountain, it is one of the loftiest mountains in the nation based on its prominence. The height assigned to Mount Hoods snow-covered peak has varied over its history, the peak is home to 12 named glaciers and snowfields. It is the highest point in Oregon and the fourth highest in the Cascade Range, Mount Hood is considered the Oregon volcano most likely to erupt, though based on its history, an explosive eruption is unlikely. Timberline Lodge is a National Historic Landmark located on the flank of Mount Hood just below Palmer Glacier. The mountain has six ski areas, Timberline, Mount Hood Meadows, Ski Bowl, Cooper Spur, Snow Bunny and they total over 4,600 acres of skiable terrain, Timberline offers the only year-round lift-served skiing in North America. The most northwestern pass around the mountain is called Lolo Pass, native Americans crossed the pass while traveling between the Willamette Valley and Celilo Falls. The Multnomah name for Mount Hood was Wyeast, in one version of the legend, the two sons of the Great Spirit Sahale fell in love with the beautiful maiden Loowit, who could not decide which to choose. The two braves, Wyeast and Pahto, burned forests and villages in their battle over her, Sahale became enraged and smote the three lovers. Seeing what he had done, he erected three mountain peaks to mark where each fell and he made beautiful Mount St. Helens for Loowit, proud and erect Mount Hood for Wyeast, and the somber Mount Adams for the mourning Pahto. There are other versions of the legend, in another telling, Wyeast battles Pahto for the fair La-wa-la-clough. Or again Wyeast, the chief of the Multnomah tribe, competed with the chief of the Klickitat tribe and their great anger led to their transformation into volcanoes. Their battle is said to have destroyed the Bridge of the Gods, the mountain was given its present name on October 29,1792, by Lt. William Broughton, a member of Captain George Vancouvers discovery expedition. Lt. and seemed to announce a termination to the river, Lt. Broughton named the mountain after Lord Hood, a British Admiral at the Battle of the Chesapeake. Lewis and Clark spotted the mountain on October 18,1805 and it is at this time topped with snow. We called this the Falls Mountain, or Timm Mountain, Timm was the native name for Celilo Falls. Clark later noted that it was also Vancouvers Mount Hood, two French explorers from the Hudsons Bay Company may have traveled into the Dog River area east of Mount Hood in 1818

The Oregonian

The Oregonian is a daily newspaper based in Portland, Oregon, owned by Advance Publications. It is the oldest continuously published newspaper on the U. S. west coast, founded as a weekly by Thomas J. Dryer on December 4,1850, and published daily since 1861. It is the largest newspaper in Oregon and the second largest in the Pacific Northwest by circulation, the Sunday edition is published under the title The Sunday Oregonian. The Oregonian received the 2001 Pulitzer Prize for Public Service, the gold medal annually awarded by the organization. The papers staff or individual writers have received seven other Pulitzer Prizes, chief among these pioneer community organizers seeking establishment of a Portland press were Col. W. W. Chapman and prominent local businessman Henry W. Corbett. There the pair met Thomas J. Dryers press was transported to Portland, each weekly issue consisted of four pages, printed six columns wide. Little attention was paid to current news events, with the bulk of the papers content devoted to political themes, a loud and bitter rivalry between the competing news organs ensued. Henry Pittock became the owner in 1861 as compensation for unpaid wages, pittocks goal was to focus more on news than the bully pulpit established by Dryer. From 1866 to 1872 Harvey W. Scott was the editor, Henry W. Corbett bought the paper from a cash-poor Pittock in October 1872 and placed William Lair Hill as editor. Scott, fired by Corbett for supporting Ben Holladays candidates, became editor of Holladays rival Bulletin newspaper, the paper went bankrupt around 1874, Holladay having lost $200,000 in the process. Corbett sold The Oregonian back to Pittock in 1877, marking a return of Scott to the editorial helm. A part-owner of the paper, Scott would remain as editor-in-chief until shortly before his death in 1910, in 1881, the first Sunday Oregonian was published. The paper became known as the voice of business-oriented Republicans, as evidenced by consistent endorsement of Republican candidates for president in every election before 1992. The new building was, the same as its predecessor, called the Oregonian Building and it contained about 100,000 square feet of floor space, including the basement but not the tower. The newspaper did not move again until 1948, the 1892 building was demolished in 1950. Following the death of Harvey Scott in 1910, the papers editor-in-chief was Edgar B, piper, who had previously been managing editor.

During the prehistoric period, the land that would become Portland was flooded after the collapse of glacial dams from Lake Missoula and these massive floods occurred during the last ice age and filled the Willamette Valley with 300 to 400 feet of water. The Chinook people occupying the land which would become Portland were first documented by Meriwether Lewis, before its European settlement, the Portland Basin of the lower Columbia River and Willamette River valleys had been one of the most densely populated regions on the Pacific Coast. Large numbers of settlers began arriving in the Willamette Valley in the 1830s via the Oregon Trail. In the early 1840s a new settlement began emerging ten miles from the mouth of the Willamette River and this community was initially referred to as Stumptown and The Clearing because of the many trees cut down to allow for its growth. In 1843 William Overton saw potential in the new settlement but lacked the funds to file a land claim. For 25 cents Overton agreed to half of the 640-acre site with Asa Lovejoy of Boston
